Source: Pentagon Insider The Pentagon has acknowledged that the current military plan cannot guarantee the free flow of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

BlockBeats News, August 18th, according to Iran's Press TV, a regional intelligence official revealed that the Pentagon has concluded that existing military plans cannot ensure the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, nor can they guarantee the stability of the region's energy supply.

The official stated that this assessment exposed the strategic deadlock that Washington faces in the Persian Gulf, highlighting a very serious situation. The source said, "The Pentagon's assessment is that currently no military plan has the necessary political and security capacity to ensure the open passage of the Strait of Hormuz, ensure the safe passage of ships, and maintain energy stability."

This is a major setback for US military planners, who have long viewed the Strait of Hormuz as a vital chokepoint that requires a continued naval presence. The US inability to control this strategic waterway has severely undermined Washington's strategic position in the region and exposed the limitations of US military power in the face of Iran's increasingly potent asymmetric warfare capabilities.
